Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5: 30ml
Total: 60ml (Approximately 1-2 months of use per serum, depending on frequency)
How to Use
When to Use: Incorporate into morning (AM) and evening (PM) skincare routines as part of the “Treat” step, after cleansing and toning but before heavier creams or oils.
Application:
Cleanse: Start with a gentle cleanser (e.g., The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser).
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5: Apply 2-3 drops to slightly damp skin for maximum hydration. Gently massage across the face to lock in moisture.
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%: Apply 2-3 drops over the face, focusing on areas prone to oiliness or blemishes. Gently pat for absorption.
Seal: Follow with a moisturizer (e.g., The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA) to enhance hydration.
Tips:
Apply to damp skin for better absorption of Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5.
Use sunscreen (SPF 30+) daily, as niacinamide may increase UV sensitivity slightly.
Patch-test each serum on the inner forearm for 24 hours before first use.
For enhanced exfoliation, use The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner (AM/PM) or Salicylic Acid 2% Masque (weekly PM) before serums, ensuring niacinamide follows.
Precautions
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%:
Avoid using with pure or ethylated Vitamin C (e.g., L-Ascorbic Acid) in the same routine to prevent reduced efficacy. Use Vitamin C in the AM and niacinamide in the PM, or alternate days.
Mild tingling or flaking may occur initially. Reduce frequency or mix with a moisturizer if irritation persists.
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5:
Safe for all skin types, but sensitive skin should start with 1-2 applications per week to assess tolerance.
Ensure skin is slightly damp to avoid pulling moisture from the skin.
General:
Discontinue use and consult a physician if irritation, redness, or burning occurs.
Keep out of reach of children.
Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Use within 6 months of opening for optimal potency.
